Duh...can you possibly be as stupid as you seem? It costs a little
over a million dollars to pay for each mile of electrical wires put
underground. Hardly cost-efficient in rural farm areas where most of
the people without electricity live.

To top it off the poles were knocked over by the hurricane that came
through last September. Last week was the worst ice storm in
Kentucky's history. Two disasters in the last 5 and a half months have
left us without the resources to put the electrical lines underground.

Iraq) were paid for by the Bush administration?

With a smart guy like you, who lied about having a PhD, Kentucky should
have
lots of resources (or at least lied about having the resources) to place
those
lines underground.

Instead, your talents are wasted hanging around Louisville Technical

My question is:

No matter how many millions it would cost to bury the lines, wouldn't it be
ultimately worth it in the end? How many times do they have to repair messes
like the current one before the buried lines would be paid for?

You obviously do not grasp the number of trees involved. They are

electrical poles.

No. Then they'd have an excuse.

The lack of right-of-way maintenance saves someone a few dollars
up-front, but costs more (to the barefoot consumers) in the long run.

I lived in East Texas; I know what trees are, and I know that they must
be cut to prevent them from falling on power lines.

Beyond simply Trimming the Branches . . . It also
has to do with the "Fall" Radius of the Trees : A
45-Ft Tall Oak Tree has a 'potential' "Fall" Radius
of 45-Ft in Kentucky.

FWIW a 200-Ft Tall Pine Tree has a 'potential'
"Fall" Radius of 200-Ft here in the Sierras.

Here Living-in-the-Red-Zone {Forested Fire Area}
Technically the Insurance and Fire Laws would
have us 'Clear' all the trees that could Fall on the
House during a Forest Five. That would require
the de-forestation of all the very tall Pine and
Fir Trees with-in a 50-Ft, 75-Ft, 100-Ft, 150-Ft,
200-Ft, and 250-Ft or more depending in the
Height of the individual Trees.

Dave -asks- How hard is it to trim ****ing trees?

Dave,

Tree Trimming is Real Work + Craft + Science
when done right and it don't come cheap to do
it right.

It is Real Work made easier with the right equipment
and can be some what dangerous with just a Ladder
and a Hand or Chain Saw.

Most Trees start out some what Symmetrical and
Balanced around their Trunk and Supported by their
Root System.

1 - Nature comes along in the Form of Wind, Snow
and Ice and breaks of a few Limbs; or Bugs and/or
Disease cause the loss of a few Limbs; or just may
be both. -Result- The Tree is no longer Symmetrical
and Balanced around it's Trunk.

2 - Nature comes along in the Form of Bugs and/or
Disease cause the loss of some of the Root System.
-Result- The Tree is no longer adequately Supported
by it's Root System.

3 - Man comes along and Trims a Tree so that a
Branch will not fall on a Power-Line of on a Home.
-Result- The Tree is no longer Symmetrical and
Balanced around it's Trunk.

4 - Man comes along and Digs in the Ground for
what ever reason and damages the Tree's Root
System. -Result- The Tree is no longer adequately
Supported by it's Root System.

All of the above items 1~4 can cause a whole Tree
to come falling down across a Power-Line, Damage
a Home, and/or Block a Road.

An non-symmetrical Tree that is no longer Balanced
around it's Trunk; with the Wind Blowing on it light
side will come down as fast as if it had been chopped
down with intent. Add Wet Soil and Damaged Roots
and it is not 'if' it is only a matter of "When".

Trees Fall Naturally :
We lost a 135-Ft Pine on the shore of the upper
Pond simply due to Wet Soil and Wind 3-Years
ago. Then we lost another 200-Ft Pine in to the
lower Pond again simply due to Wet Soil and Wind
2-Years ago; this one was 35-Ft back from the
edge of the Pond; and just missed the side of the
local Water Company's Tin Shed by ~15-Ft with
the Back-Up Pumping Station for Emergencies.

The "disaster" was foreseen and you chose to do nothing.


Dorkus Maximus has spoken!

Pruning trees in KY is much more expensive than pruning palm trees in
Los Angeles. Even with tax increases state and municipal gov't are
facing billions in cutbacks due to the worsening economy. Forgive us
if we put more emphasis on saving our school system than in pruning
trees.

Armchair quarterbacks always have the answer.

Having been thru several up here in MN, Dave is indeed talking out of his
behind.



Sure, sure. Are you saying trees are not the #1 cause of power failures?

You are not thinking this through.

The guy is originally from Idaho, his last name is Duck.He got a lot of
tree cutting jobs in Mississippi right after Hurricane Katrina.He lives
in Clinton,Mississippi, a suburb city of Jackson about five miles West
of doggy's couch.He told me he likes Mississippi so much he decided to
move here.Two of the guys who cut my trees down are his sons.His other
son was going to come to Mississippi, but sadly he was killed in a
motocycle accident in Idaho.

Hey Dave,

Folks with underground wiring are the one suffering the most:

It's not all as simple as some think.

Some people think, and some don't. Those who don't sometimes wind up lying about
having a PhD, like you did.

What proof have you ever provided that there's any thing going on
upstairs with you, Steve? You can't even think of an original insult,
you just keep repeating the same nonsense you've been spewing
mindlessly for over five years. You're a joke, bloke. Just an old,
disabled, and pathetic individual insulting anyone that tries to stand
up to your childish behavior.

And speaking about lying: Think this over carefully: Are you disabled
or retired? Or aren't you living off the money you made from suing
your previous employer? Pick one. And then, we'll examine what you've
said in the archives.

In reality, you live such a boring and solitary life that you'll do or
say anything just to get a little bit of attention. People got you
figured out. Just look at the ratings your posts earn...

Keep yapping, little dog. Don't forget to keep re-posting material
